"Images of Friendship Beyond Borders"
 
 
 
Four images from my "Series #3" were displayed in a four-country International Art Exhibition which opened in Leidschendam-Voorburg in The Netherlands on September 3, 2005.

This Exhibition has traveled to three Sister Cities of Leidschendam-Voorburg. Hranice in the Czech Republic hosted it in November 2005. Konstancin-Jeziorna in Poland displayed it in January 2006.

This International Art Exhibition was displayed in Temecula in Southern California U.S.A. from July 16 to August 20, 2006, at the Temecula Valley Museum, and at the 'Gallery at the Merc' in the Old Town Temecula Community Theater.
